If you noticed the kiss from the Power Rangers trailer never made it in to the film, then you’re absolutely correct.
In an interview with EW, Director Dean Israelite indicated that preview audiences unanimously hated the scene. Part of the problem was that it took a scene about Kimberly’s evolution and turned it into one about the relationship between her Jason. “For that scene to culminate in some kind of romantic moment between her and Jason undermines her character and feels a little old-fashioned and becomes a movie trope of the female lead there to support some kind of male arc,” said Israelite.
“I think it was actually kind of lovely that the audience pushed so hard against that, and the moment we took it out, everybody liked Kimberly way more and felt she was much stronger, and I loved that we got that reaction,” he said.
The kiss can be briefly glimpsed in the original trailer below at the 1:29 mark:
